The first thing the people reviewing a proposal will ask for is examples showing the proposed characters in running text. It's useless to submit anything without such samples. Even with clear evidence it can be an uphill battle to convince the reviewers that certain symbols are characters that should be encoded instead of embedded graphical elements. The more diverse and "text-like" the samples are, the higher the chance of making your case with success.

But without samples, there's no need even trying.

Simple as that.
